Notably: The unsubtly enigmatic Víkingur Ólafsson has a new recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations for Deutsche Grammophon. From the liner notes: “In the Goldberg Variations, the one thing that rivals Bach’s complete intellectual mastery of his craft is his inspired, creative playfulness. In thirty variations, built on the humble harmonic framework of a simple, graceful aria, Bach turns limited material into boundless variety like no one before or since. The Goldberg Variations contain some of the most
virtuosic keyboard music ever written, some of the most astonishingly brilliant uses of counterpoint in the repertoire and countless instances of exalted poetry, abstract contemplation and deep pathos – all within immaculately shaped structures of formal perfection. In a paradox that only seems to make sense in the light of Bach’s particular, baroque genius, the relentlessly strict formal premise he sets himself turns out to afford him sublime creative freedom – and he clearly revels in it. When we write and talk about the Goldberg Variations, we tend to focus on Bach the profound thinker, assiduous craftsman and visionary musical architect. But when we play and listen to the Gold- berg Variations, we cannot but notice that we are also in the company of Bach the cheerful, at times ecstatic, master improviser; Bach the greatest keyboard virtuoso of his time.”

The moment when a man’s head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life. Nevertheless, like the greater part of our misfortunes, even so serious a contingency brings its remedy and consolation with it, if the sufferer will but make the best, rather than the worst, of the accident which has befallen him.
–From Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter (1850).

“The future of Florida judicial districts was to be discussed in secret. Not anymore.
